Niet steeds brengt rijkdom of het geld den mensch geluk en voorspoed aan, / Zoo als g'uit de geschiedenis van Hans van Poolen na kunt gaan 1827 - 1894

This 19th-century woodcut print by Johannes Egbertus van Lieshout is titled *Niet steeds brengt rijkdom of het geld den mensch geluk en voorspoed aan, / Zoo als g'uit de geschiedenis van Hans van Poolen na kunt gaan,* or in English, *Not always does wealth or money bring man happiness and prosperity, / As you can see from the story of Hans of Poolen.* The image depicts a series of nine scenes from the story of Hans, a popular Dutch folktale that highlights the fickle nature of fortune. Each scene is accompanied by a caption in Dutch, explaining the events and providing moral lessons. The print is characteristic of the genre of "fable illustrations," which were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries for their use of simple narratives and didactic messages.
